My assignment for this week is to explain my understandings
of the difference between summary and analysis. In order to know the difference
between summary and analysis, we must first know the meaning of the two terms.
A summary is an overview of content that enables the reader to grasp the overall
theme, but does not expand on or into specific details. A summary describes a
larger work, such as an entire book, movie, or research assignment, and should
include noticeably less content then the original work. Summaries are very
useful to readers because they can save time, which prevents the reader from
actually having to go through and distinguish the important information from
the unimportant. For example: Our teacher provided a well-documented summary of
the chapter, so that her students would not have study the unimportant parts of
the text, and as a result I still received an A on my test.
Analysis is a systematic examination and evaluation of data or information,
by breaking it down so that the relationships of its component parts are
uncovered and thereby identified. Analysis can also be identified by examining
the provided data and facts that will help to uncover and understand cause and
affect relationships, therefore providing the reader with the necessary information
that will serve as the basis for potential problem solving and decision making.
Summary of Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory: The world is astounded when Willy Wonka, for years a recluse in his factory, announces that five lucky people will be given a tour of the factory, shown all the secrets of his amazing candy, and one will win a lifetime supply of Wonka chocolate. Nobody wants the prize more than young Charlie, but as his family is so poor that buying even one bar of chocolate is a treat, buying enough bars to find one of the five golden tickets is unlikely in the extreme. But in movieland, magic can happen. Charlie, along with four somewhat odious other children, get the chance of a lifetime and a tour of the factory. Along the way, mild disasters befall each of the odious children, but can Charlie beat the odds and grab the brass ring? Written by Rick Munoz <rick.munoz@his.com>
I wanted to thank you for your last comment on my post on "modest Proposal." I agree with everything that you had to say. I didn't see an analysis of willy wonka, but the summary was good. That movie would creep me out when I was young. I could never watch it . Keep up the good work man.
